Bethel spruced up for fall
by Patty Sutton
Leaving their home stomp-ing
grounds far behind,
over 700 new students ar-rive
on campus today to
begin orientation in the
Bethel tradition.
Some of the transfer stu-dents
and re-admits have
been here since last night
getting settled and un-packed.
The dorms opened
at 8 a.m. for the freshmen
students. A flurry of un-packing
and finding impor-tant
areas of campus is
already in progress.
Transfers and re-admits
will have an introduction
to academic curriculum
and registration informa-tion
at 10 a.m., and at 2
p.m. freshmen will go
through the same introduc-tion.
At 1 p.m. there was a
kick-off assemby in the
gym. Then freshmen stu-dents
went on a tour with
their advisors and men-tors.
Transfers and re-ad-mits
registered and par-ents
attended a reception
with President Lundquist
in the Kresge courtyard
outside the coffee shop.
Tonight John Fischer
will perform a concert
in the gym at 7:30. Fischer
is a Wheaton graduate
with many years of music
experience. He learned to
play the guitar by listen-ing
to Peter, Paul, and
Mary records.
Fischer said, "I want to
open eyes to people's
needs. I show how Truth
relates to a person's own
experience in everyday
life." Parents and new stu-dents
may attend free and
others may purchase tick-ets
at the door for $3.
Right before the concert,
students will meet with
their Resident Assistants
to get to know each other
and their roommates.
Saturday morning at 8
a.m. freshman students
will assemble in the gym.
Then they will have time
to register and unpack be-fore
the football game. Par-ents
will attend a special
breakfast in the cafeteria
and go to a seminar on
"Developmental Tasks and
the College Experience" at
10:45. They will be in-volved
with a panel dis-cussion
at 1 p.m.
Saturday afternoon every-one
is welcome to attend
the opening season foot-ball
game against May-ville
State. Bethel will host
its first game under Dud
Lutton's new coaching
staff. Lutton is being as-sisted
by Dave Anderson,
Jon Kramka, Craig Dahl,
Brad Pole and Karl Kas-sulke.
After the game, students
may take part in a night-on-
the-town. Welcome
Week has arranged trans-portation
leaving from the
gym steps for a choice of
three different types of en-tertainment
around the
Twin Cities. Students are
to purchase their tickets
in the PE lounge on Satur-day
afternoon.

"More people have com-mented
that the campus
looks prettier than ever,"
said Jim Woods, Bethel's
director of physical plant.
Although Woods super-vises
maintenance inside
and out at Bethel, he also
commended the work of
Ron Sprecher, head grounds-man,
"a guy really devoted
to (maintaining the
grounds)."
Outside improvements
over the summer include
$3,000 in trees and bushes
planted along the creek,
600 feet of new road re-placing
the potholes from
Edgren and Bodien up to
the parking lot, paved
walks to the bridge from
the Robertson Physical Ed-ucation
and the road, a
new dock on Lake Valen-tine,
and (Woods added, "I
really feel like tootin' my
by Roger Smolik
With 1200-plus return-ing
students, approximate-ly
750 new students ar-rived
at Bethel College this
fall, amid boxes, baggage
and books. With this many
new faces on campus, a
little confusion is an ac-cepted
reality. As might
be imagined, ironing out
the housing arrangements
for such a human tidal
wave can become quite an
involved task. One factor
that has greatly helped re-duce
this task, according
to the new housing direc-horn
on this one") workers
trimmed all the trees and
shrubs, mowed grass and
grated land.
Changes outside are not
only aesthetic. Under the
supervision of George
Henry, athletic director,
crews redid the old bleach.:
ers on the football field
and added 60 feet of new
aluminum bleachers to
each side of the Bethel
stands, and new sections
to the visitors' side. They
placed cables for the sound
system underground and
permanently mounted the
speakers on the scoreboard
to alleviate the problem of
hearing the announcer at
athletic events.
The field has been well-groomed
and fertilized,
claimed Woods, and two
press boxes were acquired
from the Olympics. The
boxes are 20-foot heated
trailers with telephone
tor, Rodney Long, is the
early arrival of about 513
students. "This takes care
of about thirty per cent of
Bethel's housing capacity
and almost twenty-six per
cent of the entire student
body by the 5th of Septem-ber,"
said Long.
Though Bethel's steadi-ly
increasing enrollment
is uncharacteristic of col-leges
today, Bethel has
been able to meet the hous-ing
needs that have in-creased
in correlation with
its growth. This fall, for
example, Bethel will be
able to house about 85 per
cent of its students, as
compared with 74 per cent
housing in the spring of
1980. (In other words, you
don't have to worry about
pitching a tent in Doc's
corner, though that doesn't
seem like such a bad prop-osition.)
A little more than half
of the students housed by
Bethel will be living on
campus, with about 81 per
cent of the on-campus
housing going to new stu-dents.
The rest will be
housed off campus at three
different locations. To the
lines.
Bethel's indoor athletes
can expect a completely
redone gym floor and rac-quetball
courts.
For those who sprint on-ly
to classes, all the car-peting
was shampooed, and
new carpeting installed in
the gym hall, weight room
hall, Doc's Corner and the
second-floor walkway to
the Academic Center.
Servicemaster Co. clean-ed
upholstery in the rec
room across from the POs
and elsewhere, including
the 142 seats with ball
point pen markings in the
Fine Arts lecture hall (at a
cost of $300 for those
chairs alone.)
Said Woods of the sum-mer's
work, "With what
money we have to spend
we're trying to make (the
campus) presentable."
west, Bethel has Fountain
Terrace and Silvercrest
apartments. 284 students
will live at Fountain Ter-race,
or about 16.5 per cent
of the total housing.
Silvercrest, with room
for 374 students, takes
care of an additional 21.5
per cent of the housing
space offered. Bethel now
has six buildings present-ly
under lease at Silver-crest.
In addition to these off-campus
abodes, two build-ings
have been leased at
Centennial Gardens to the
south of Bethel. Centen-nial
provides an addition-al
195 students with hous-ing,
or 11 per cent of the
total housing. The echo-ing
clang of water pipes in
the dead of night will no
longer create insomniacs
out of students, as Old
Campus has been finally
retired as a Bethel resi-dence.
According to Long, Beth-el
plans to continue this
present leasing to meet the
housing demands. In addi-see

Housing changes with added students
`Scramble' means scramble at Bethel
by E. Clarence Swensen
Coming to Bethel for the
first time as a student is
inevitably accompanied by
the flurry and excitement
of new beginnings tinted
with fear. Fear that one
will not be accepted and
fit in without making a
fool of oneself.
One tries very hard to
disguise this fear which,
after all, isn't the "in thing"
or very "cool" itself. Part
of disguising this fear in-cludes
not asking ques-tions
because they might
have obvious answers and
make one appear dumb.
Another part is eyeing the
other people to learn from
their behavior—especially
their mistakes.
One has only a short
time to accomplish this
before school sets in full-swing.
It's a big project to
learn the distinctive Bethel
lingo, the layout of the
buildings, the "scramble
system" in the cafeteria
and modular scheduling.
The Clarion staff has
decided to help along new
students by exposing some
of the upperclassmen's se-crets.
If one takes note,
one may be able to fool
others into thinking one is
at least a sophomore by
the first day of class.
Some of the most impor-tant,
unknown facts for
new students are:
1. There is a restroom
on the second floor of the
library.
2. The whole school
shuts down during chapel
and usually isn't open for
the 15 minutes before and
after chapel. Chapel also
tends to exceed its allotted
half an hour by at least ten
minutes, but classes are
adjusted accordingly.
3. The "scramble sys-tern"
on the cafeteria
means just that—scram-ble.
The only lines are at
the cashier's table.
4. Food cards can. only
be used in the coffee shop
when the cafeteria is
closed. The coffee shop is
closed on Saturday even-ings
and all day Sunday.
5. Pay phones are lo-cated
in the PE lounge (be-tween
the gym and the
library), by the stairs next
to the coffee shop and in
the lounge on the second
floor of the Academic Cen-ter.
However, the phone in
the AC lounge is frequen-tly
out-of-order.
6. Professors are some-times
difficult to get a hold
of but 99 per cent of the
time TAs and secretaries
know what one needs to
find out.
7. Most classes require
more than the ten hours
per week they should theor-etically
absorb. Don't get
overly frustrated when
homework isn't all read or
written. That's normal.
8. On-campus housing
is furnished with sheets,
toilet paper and lightbulbs.
9. Bethel guys and Bethel
girls aren't noted for dat-ing
each other. One gains
a repertoire of jokes on the
subject by the end of one's
first semester.
10. One should always
carry a Bethel I.D. One
needs it for everything on-campus
except checking
out on-reserve materials
in the library. (It's also
good for cashing checks
when shopping.)
11. One should get to
know Doc Dalton. He runs
a special coffee corner on
the first floor of the Aca-demic
Center—a quiet, corn-forting
place to relax or
study. He gives hugs and
encouragement as needed.
12. One shouldn't be
afraid to ask questions.
Faculty, staff, and upper-classmen
are willing and
ready to help—they. were
once new too.
from page 1
tion, there are several new
campus dorms on the draw-ing
board for future con-sideration.
Through
this plan, Long forsees that
adequate housing will be
available for increased en-rollment.

Clarion staff recommitted
to reflect, lead, inform
Seven dollars and thirty-six cents: the chemical
value of the human body calculated with today's
inflated prices of hemoglobin and DNA. Such a sum
tends to humble the self-seeing thoughts of society in
the 1980s. Nonetheless, we keep working, trying to
increase our personal value—our self worth—by con-stantly
keeping up with the rat race of daily life.
For college students the pace quickens when sum-mer
relaxation, in spite of sometimes unbearable
summer jobs, fades into oblivion and September
beckons all collegians back to the books. Once again
we find ourselves caught up in the rush to outdo
ourselves. GPAs, exam scores, work study programs,
food service scrambles and scrutinzing professors
slowly take their places, pushing sunny days on the
beach, crazy days on the job and cool evening walks
far out of our vision.
As Edgren and Bodien dorms fill with the sounds of
Welcome Week madness the first edition of the fifty-sixth
volume of the Clarion rolls off the presses. A new
staff pulls itself together and forces itself into action.
Minds sometimes wander with illusions of grandeur.
But then they remember what they are truly worth—a
meager $7.36.
A newspaper is only as good as the people who put
it together. (That would seem to nullify the actual
value of the printed page, considering a human's
chemical worth.) But the Clarion staff tries, hoping to
make each new issue worthy of more than the leftov-ers
from dinner three weeks ago.
Our purpose is to reflect, to lead and to inform. By
reflection we strive to show the Bethel community
how it looks, not through rose-colored glasses, but
through a crystal-clear window. We hope to lead the
community with insightful reporting and investiga-tion,
as well as careful suggestions and needed advice.
To keep the community up-to-date we hope to
inform the Bethel populace of pertinent activities and
events in the "outside world." We cannot be a substi-tute
for the local newspapers, nor the evening news-casts,
but we can alert the community news that
deserves further attention.
The Clarion purposes to be an example, holding the
standards determined by the community's ethic—that
of Christianity. We will not publish any article that is
not in harmony with our Christian principles, unless
the article serves to teach a lesson and is marked as
such. We will not print any profanity or language that
takes the Lord's name in vain.
Our efforts will be focused on maintaining the high-est
journalistic standards of quality. We will strive to
present facts with the utmost in honesty, but at the
same time refrain from printing facts which merely
serve to degrade or blaspheme.
In an effort to be open, we will accept criticism
graciously, realizing that such criticism will better
enable us to meet our goals as a student news medium.
We try to recognize our self worth and function as a
team accordingly.
The Christianity which is claimed as the foremost
part of the Bethel lifestyle will be the ultimate guide in
all of our policies. As a staff we firmly believe that the
value of a human being is increased by an infinite
measure when Christ is foremost in that human's life.
Thus our newspaper's value increases 100-fold when
we make the Lord Editor-in-Chief.

Upon entering my fourth
year in these hallowed
halls I realize the wonders
of being classed among
those novice collegians,
commonly referred to as
freshmen. Being two years
removed from that class
presents me with a certain
degree of objectivity that I
remained blind to through-out
that first year, and
possibly even into the next
two.
But as responsibilities
pile higher and higher, and
graduation day looms some-what
horrifyingly near, I
sit back and yearn for the
days when my life as a col-lege
student was so much
simpler.
I didn't realize then how
carefree I was. All I re-member
thinking is, "Boy,
I am never going to be like
those 'stuck-up' upperclass-men."
Little did I know
then what I referred to as
"stuck-up" was actually a
simple case of growing up
and being burdened with
more responsbility. (It's
amazing what professors
and college administrators
expect from you once you
step beyond the level of
"freshman.")
When Bethel was new
to me and I didn't know
the student affairs office
from the athletic depart-ment,
I was free to ask all
The difference between
that question then and that
question now is my status
at the school. When I was
a freshman the sign was
politely pointed out to me
and I was directed to the
office. Now, should I ask
the same question, some-one
would sarcastically
say to me, "Can't you read
the sign and follow direc-ter
b. How Swedes start the
ABC's
c.Learning Resource Cen-ter
(library)
(answers on page 2)
tions?" Nowadays, if I
don't know the answer to
a seemingly simple ques-tion
I merely fake it.
Being loud and/or gig-gly
in the halls is perfectly
all right when you're a
freshman. Once you ad-vance
a year or two you
are given the old "evil eye"
when a professor or ad-ministrator
spies you en-gaged
in such frivolous
and obviously "un-upper-classman-
like" behavior.
Ah, for the days...
Upperclassmen have this
habit of actually studying
in the coffeeshop amid the
noise and confusion of
classroom breaks. Fresh-men
know better. Fresh-men
use the coffeeshop for
the purpose for which it
was intended—sitting and
talking and sipping Cokes
or coffee for hour after
hour. Upperclassmen de-velop
strong feelings of
guilt when they indulge in
such extravagances for
more than five or ten min-utes.
"The books are cal-ling
me," they say.
Freshmen can get away

with lots of things. (Not
bad things, mind you, but
things that are really quite
fun.) For example, a fresh-man
can go rollerskating
every Friday night • from
midnight to two in the
morning and never bat an
eyelash about all the sleep
that is being lost and all
the studying that is being
neglected. A freshman will
dress up on dress-up day,
wear blue and gold on
school colors day, strut
around in `50s style on
1950s day, and dress like a
colorblind hum on clash
day and not feel a tinge of
self-consciousness. Upper-classmen
fear being
thought foolish if they
were to follow the exam-ple
set by enthusiastic
freshmen. (Instead, they
are thought boring and "no
fun" by freshmen who wish
everyone else would get
into the spirit of things!)
A freshman can walk
into class late and be ex-cused
because he didn't
know where FA 313 was.
Upperclassmen are stared
down by displeased pro-fessors
and curious stu-dents
when they walk in
late. My first freshman ex-perience
of being late to a
class taught me that I
shouldn't wait for a bell to
ring announcing the start
of classes—I later disco-vered
that Bethel didn't
have bells.
I am not complaining
that I am now a senior. I
am not boasting that I am
no longer a freshman. I
can't really see that there
is any greater merit in ei-ther
of the positions. I rec-ognize
that being a fresh-man
was lots of fun. I
know that being a senior
means lots of work. In my
retrospective mood, may-be
I can actually make
being a senior more than
just a lot of responsibility.
After all, I vowed to
myself three years ago that
I would never be a "stuck-up
senior."

By Chad Lackey
The spring of 1980
brought an interesting
challenge to Athletic Di-rector
Dr. George Henry:
to find a new football staff
for Bethel, and the football
team feels that he did an
excellent job.
Dud Lutton was hired
as the head coach, and
along with him came Craig
Dahl, the offensive back
coach, and Dave Ander-son,
the offensive line
coach.
Carl Kassulke, who
played for the Minnesota
Vikings, was brought on
as the defensive back coach
with Brad Pole assisting.
Jon Kramka is the only

Although the Royal soc-cer
team lost many play-ers
to graduation last year,
Coach Mark Leigh looks
forward to a good season
and expects between forty
and fifty players out for
the team. Coach said, "We
are going to work hard
and I am looking for a
good team this year."
Jon Fredrickson is the
only senior returning this
year so the team will be
relatively young. "We have
a lot of freshmen this
fall and I have heard some
good reports about some
of them," said Leigh.
The players expected to
return this year are Mark
returning coach; he helps
Anderson run the offen-sive
line.
The coaching staff
stresses the mental
strength as well as physi-cal
strength. During twice
daily practice, the coaches
hold a team meeting cover-ing
several aspects of hav-ing
a winning attitude.
According to Head
Coach Lutton, the team's
main goal is to glorify
Christ in all actions. But
Coach Lutton is also set on
giving Bethel one of the
top football teams in the
MIAC.
The Royal's first foot-ball
game is at Bethel Sat-urday,
Sept. 6 at 2:30 p.m.
against Mayville State.
Johnson, Andy Larson, Joel
Kraakevik, Neil Kaiser,
Doug Barkey, Greg Held
and Steve Figini. Steve is
a transfer student and, said
Leigh, "will help me on
defense. He has played in
Europe and Asia and is a
good ball player with a lot
of experience.
Bo Cedersjo will be the
goalie for the team this
year. He also played last
year but Leigh expects him
to see more action this fall.
Coach Leigh has new
ideas this year and plans
to rearrange players and
place them where they will
be the most help. He "just
wants them to play one
game at a time and do
their best."
was impressed with "the
athletes' concern for their
witness while they corn-peted,
and their interest in
their studies."
Book said about 60 fresh-man
women expressed in-terest
in playing on the
team. Between 15 and 18
upperclassmen are return-ing
as well.
Book expects the varsity
and junior varsity teams
to include 15- 17 women.
Their season begins on Sep-tember
19 and 20 at a
tournament with at least
four other teams.
The returning players ar-rived
on September 2. The
first practice is September

The men's cross-coun-try
coach, Eugene Glader,
is optimistic about his
team this fall. Glader said,
"We have a similar team to
last year but I hope a little
better. We should have
good depth down to the
tenth man."
Although the team lost
graduates Jim Feleen and
Randy Bostrom, Coach Gla-der
expects approximate-ly
fifteen runners out for
the team.
Captain Brent Friesen re-turns
from last year as the
number one and number
two runner. "I hope Brent
will have a good year as a
senior. He put a lot of
summer miles in and is in
good shape," said Glader.
Coach Glader is also
hopeful that senior Bryan
Galloway will be a strong
asset to the team. Gallo-way,
along with sopho-more
Ross Allen, has been
keeping in shape this sum-mer
in preparation for
cross-country. Returning
sophomore Dwight New-man
is also expected to ,
add to the team's depth.
Glader said, "Friesen, Gal-loway,

are the best prospects for

Bethel spruced up for fall
by Patty Sutton
Leaving their home stomp-ing
grounds far behind,
over 700 new students ar-rive
on campus today to
begin orientation in the
Bethel tradition.
Some of the transfer stu-dents
and re-admits have
been here since last night
getting settled and un-packed.
The dorms opened
at 8 a.m. for the freshmen
students. A flurry of un-packing
and finding impor-tant
areas of campus is
already in progress.
Transfers and re-admits
will have an introduction
to academic curriculum
and registration informa-tion
at 10 a.m., and at 2
p.m. freshmen will go
through the same introduc-tion.
At 1 p.m. there was a
kick-off assemby in the
gym. Then freshmen stu-dents
went on a tour with
their advisors and men-tors.
Transfers and re-ad-mits
registered and par-ents
attended a reception
with President Lundquist
in the Kresge courtyard
outside the coffee shop.
Tonight John Fischer
will perform a concert
in the gym at 7:30. Fischer
is a Wheaton graduate
with many years of music
experience. He learned to
play the guitar by listen-ing
to Peter, Paul, and
Mary records.
Fischer said, "I want to
open eyes to people's
needs. I show how Truth
relates to a person's own
experience in everyday
life." Parents and new stu-dents
may attend free and
others may purchase tick-ets
at the door for $3.
Right before the concert,
students will meet with
their Resident Assistants
to get to know each other
and their roommates.
Saturday morning at 8
a.m. freshman students
will assemble in the gym.
Then they will have time
to register and unpack be-fore
the football game. Par-ents
will attend a special
breakfast in the cafeteria
and go to a seminar on
"Developmental Tasks and
the College Experience" at
10:45. They will be in-volved
with a panel dis-cussion
at 1 p.m.
Saturday afternoon every-one
is welcome to attend
the opening season foot-ball
game against May-ville
State. Bethel will host
its first game under Dud
Lutton's new coaching
staff. Lutton is being as-sisted
by Dave Anderson,
Jon Kramka, Craig Dahl,
Brad Pole and Karl Kas-sulke.
After the game, students
may take part in a night-on-

Week has arranged trans-portation

"More people have com-mented
that the campus
looks prettier than ever,"
said Jim Woods, Bethel's
director of physical plant.
Although Woods super-vises
maintenance inside
and out at Bethel, he also
commended the work of
Ron Sprecher, head grounds-man,
"a guy really devoted
to (maintaining the
grounds)."
Outside improvements
over the summer include
$3,000 in trees and bushes
planted along the creek,
600 feet of new road re-placing
the potholes from
Edgren and Bodien up to
the parking lot, paved
walks to the bridge from
the Robertson Physical Ed-ucation
and the road, a

by Roger Smolik
With 1200-plus return-ing
students, approximate-ly
750 new students ar-rived
at Bethel College this
fall, amid boxes, baggage
and books. With this many
new faces on campus, a
little confusion is an ac-cepted
reality. As might
be imagined, ironing out
the housing arrangements
for such a human tidal
wave can become quite an
involved task. One factor
that has greatly helped re-duce
this task, according
to the new housing direc-horn
on this one") workers
trimmed all the trees and
shrubs, mowed grass and
grated land.
Changes outside are not
only aesthetic. Under the
supervision of George
Henry, athletic director,
crews redid the old bleach.:
ers on the football field
and added 60 feet of new
aluminum bleachers to
each side of the Bethel
stands, and new sections
to the visitors' side. They
placed cables for the sound
system underground and
permanently mounted the
speakers on the scoreboard
to alleviate the problem of
hearing the announcer at
athletic events.
The field has been well-groomed
and fertilized,
claimed Woods, and two
press boxes were acquired
from the Olympics. The
boxes are 20-foot heated
trailers with telephone
tor, Rodney Long, is the
early arrival of about 513
students. "This takes care
of about thirty per cent of
Bethel's housing capacity
and almost twenty-six per
cent of the entire student
body by the 5th of Septem-ber,"
said Long.
Though Bethel's steadi-ly
increasing enrollment
is uncharacteristic of col-leges
today, Bethel has
been able to meet the hous-ing
needs that have in-creased
in correlation with
its growth. This fall, for
example, Bethel will be
able to house about 85 per
cent of its students, as
compared with 74 per cent
housing in the spring of
1980. (In other words, you
don't have to worry about
pitching a tent in Doc's
corner, though that doesn't
seem like such a bad prop-osition.)
A little more than half
of the students housed by
Bethel will be living on
campus, with about 81 per
cent of the on-campus
housing going to new stu-dents.
The rest will be
housed off campus at three
different locations. To the
lines.
Bethel's indoor athletes
can expect a completely
redone gym floor and rac-quetball
courts.
For those who sprint on-ly
to classes, all the car-peting
was shampooed, and
new carpeting installed in
the gym hall, weight room
hall, Doc's Corner and the
second-floor walkway to
the Academic Center.
Servicemaster Co. clean-ed
upholstery in the rec
room across from the POs
and elsewhere, including
the 142 seats with ball
point pen markings in the
Fine Arts lecture hall (at a
cost of $300 for those
chairs alone.)
Said Woods of the sum-mer's
work, "With what
money we have to spend
we're trying to make (the
campus) presentable."
west, Bethel has Fountain
Terrace and Silvercrest
apartments. 284 students
will live at Fountain Ter-race,
or about 16.5 per cent
of the total housing.
Silvercrest, with room
for 374 students, takes
care of an additional 21.5
per cent of the housing
space offered. Bethel now
has six buildings present-ly
under lease at Silver-crest.
In addition to these off-campus
abodes, two build-ings
have been leased at
Centennial Gardens to the
south of Bethel. Centen-nial
provides an addition-al
195 students with hous-ing,
or 11 per cent of the
total housing. The echo-ing
clang of water pipes in
the dead of night will no
longer create insomniacs
out of students, as Old
Campus has been finally
retired as a Bethel resi-dence.
According to Long, Beth-el
plans to continue this
present leasing to meet the
housing demands. In addi-see

Housing changes with added students
`Scramble' means scramble at Bethel
by E. Clarence Swensen
Coming to Bethel for the
first time as a student is
inevitably accompanied by
the flurry and excitement
of new beginnings tinted
with fear. Fear that one
will not be accepted and
fit in without making a
fool of oneself.
One tries very hard to
disguise this fear which,
after all, isn't the "in thing"
or very "cool" itself. Part
of disguising this fear in-cludes
not asking ques-tions
because they might
have obvious answers and
make one appear dumb.
Another part is eyeing the
other people to learn from
their behavior—especially
their mistakes.
One has only a short
time to accomplish this
before school sets in full-swing.
It's a big project to
learn the distinctive Bethel
lingo, the layout of the
buildings, the "scramble
system" in the cafeteria
and modular scheduling.
The Clarion staff has
decided to help along new
students by exposing some
of the upperclassmen's se-crets.
If one takes note,
one may be able to fool
others into thinking one is
at least a sophomore by
the first day of class.
Some of the most impor-tant,
unknown facts for
new students are:
1. There is a restroom
on the second floor of the
library.
2. The whole school
shuts down during chapel
and usually isn't open for
the 15 minutes before and
after chapel. Chapel also
tends to exceed its allotted
half an hour by at least ten
minutes, but classes are
adjusted accordingly.
3. The "scramble sys-tern"
on the cafeteria
means just that—scram-ble.
The only lines are at
the cashier's table.
4. Food cards can. only
be used in the coffee shop
when the cafeteria is
closed. The coffee shop is
closed on Saturday even-ings
and all day Sunday.
5. Pay phones are lo-cated
in the PE lounge (be-tween
the gym and the
library), by the stairs next
to the coffee shop and in
the lounge on the second
floor of the Academic Cen-ter.
However, the phone in
the AC lounge is frequen-tly
out-of-order.
6. Professors are some-times
difficult to get a hold
of but 99 per cent of the
time TAs and secretaries
know what one needs to
find out.
7. Most classes require
more than the ten hours
per week they should theor-etically
absorb. Don't get
overly frustrated when
homework isn't all read or
written. That's normal.
8. On-campus housing
is furnished with sheets,
toilet paper and lightbulbs.
9. Bethel guys and Bethel
girls aren't noted for dat-ing
each other. One gains
a repertoire of jokes on the
subject by the end of one's
first semester.
10. One should always
carry a Bethel I.D. One
needs it for everything on-campus
except checking
out on-reserve materials
in the library. (It's also
good for cashing checks
when shopping.)
11. One should get to
know Doc Dalton. He runs
a special coffee corner on
the first floor of the Aca-demic
Center—a quiet, corn-forting
place to relax or
study. He gives hugs and
encouragement as needed.
12. One shouldn't be
afraid to ask questions.
Faculty, staff, and upper-classmen
are willing and
ready to help—they. were
once new too.
from page 1
tion, there are several new
campus dorms on the draw-ing
board for future con-sideration.
Through
this plan, Long forsees that
adequate housing will be
available for increased en-rollment.

Clarion staff recommitted
to reflect, lead, inform
Seven dollars and thirty-six cents: the chemical
value of the human body calculated with today's
inflated prices of hemoglobin and DNA. Such a sum
tends to humble the self-seeing thoughts of society in
the 1980s. Nonetheless, we keep working, trying to
increase our personal value—our self worth—by con-stantly
keeping up with the rat race of daily life.
For college students the pace quickens when sum-mer
relaxation, in spite of sometimes unbearable
summer jobs, fades into oblivion and September
beckons all collegians back to the books. Once again
we find ourselves caught up in the rush to outdo
ourselves. GPAs, exam scores, work study programs,
food service scrambles and scrutinzing professors
slowly take their places, pushing sunny days on the
beach, crazy days on the job and cool evening walks
far out of our vision.
As Edgren and Bodien dorms fill with the sounds of
Welcome Week madness the first edition of the fifty-sixth
volume of the Clarion rolls off the presses. A new
staff pulls itself together and forces itself into action.
Minds sometimes wander with illusions of grandeur.
But then they remember what they are truly worth—a
meager $7.36.
A newspaper is only as good as the people who put
it together. (That would seem to nullify the actual
value of the printed page, considering a human's
chemical worth.) But the Clarion staff tries, hoping to
make each new issue worthy of more than the leftov-ers
from dinner three weeks ago.
Our purpose is to reflect, to lead and to inform. By
reflection we strive to show the Bethel community
how it looks, not through rose-colored glasses, but
through a crystal-clear window. We hope to lead the
community with insightful reporting and investiga-tion,
as well as careful suggestions and needed advice.
To keep the community up-to-date we hope to
inform the Bethel populace of pertinent activities and
events in the "outside world." We cannot be a substi-tute
for the local newspapers, nor the evening news-casts,
but we can alert the community news that
deserves further attention.
The Clarion purposes to be an example, holding the
standards determined by the community's ethic—that
of Christianity. We will not publish any article that is
not in harmony with our Christian principles, unless
the article serves to teach a lesson and is marked as
such. We will not print any profanity or language that
takes the Lord's name in vain.
Our efforts will be focused on maintaining the high-est
journalistic standards of quality. We will strive to
present facts with the utmost in honesty, but at the
same time refrain from printing facts which merely
serve to degrade or blaspheme.
In an effort to be open, we will accept criticism
graciously, realizing that such criticism will better
enable us to meet our goals as a student news medium.
We try to recognize our self worth and function as a
team accordingly.
The Christianity which is claimed as the foremost
part of the Bethel lifestyle will be the ultimate guide in
all of our policies. As a staff we firmly believe that the
value of a human being is increased by an infinite
measure when Christ is foremost in that human's life.
Thus our newspaper's value increases 100-fold when
we make the Lord Editor-in-Chief.

Upon entering my fourth
year in these hallowed
halls I realize the wonders
of being classed among
those novice collegians,
commonly referred to as
freshmen. Being two years
removed from that class
presents me with a certain
degree of objectivity that I
remained blind to through-out
that first year, and
possibly even into the next
two.
But as responsibilities
pile higher and higher, and
graduation day looms some-what
horrifyingly near, I
sit back and yearn for the
days when my life as a col-lege
student was so much
simpler.
I didn't realize then how
carefree I was. All I re-member
thinking is, "Boy,
I am never going to be like
those 'stuck-up' upperclass-men."
Little did I know
then what I referred to as
"stuck-up" was actually a
simple case of growing up
and being burdened with
more responsbility. (It's
amazing what professors
and college administrators
expect from you once you
step beyond the level of
"freshman.")
When Bethel was new
to me and I didn't know
the student affairs office
from the athletic depart-ment,
I was free to ask all
The difference between
that question then and that
question now is my status
at the school. When I was
a freshman the sign was
politely pointed out to me
and I was directed to the
office. Now, should I ask
the same question, some-one
would sarcastically
say to me, "Can't you read
the sign and follow direc-ter
b. How Swedes start the
ABC's
c.Learning Resource Cen-ter
(library)
(answers on page 2)
tions?" Nowadays, if I
don't know the answer to
a seemingly simple ques-tion
I merely fake it.
Being loud and/or gig-gly
in the halls is perfectly
all right when you're a
freshman. Once you ad-vance
a year or two you
are given the old "evil eye"
when a professor or ad-ministrator
spies you en-gaged
in such frivolous
and obviously "un-upper-classman-
like" behavior.
Ah, for the days...
Upperclassmen have this
habit of actually studying
in the coffeeshop amid the
noise and confusion of
classroom breaks. Fresh-men
know better. Fresh-men
use the coffeeshop for
the purpose for which it
was intended—sitting and
talking and sipping Cokes
or coffee for hour after
hour. Upperclassmen de-velop
strong feelings of
guilt when they indulge in
such extravagances for
more than five or ten min-utes.
"The books are cal-ling
me," they say.
Freshmen can get away

with lots of things. (Not
bad things, mind you, but
things that are really quite
fun.) For example, a fresh-man
can go rollerskating
every Friday night • from
midnight to two in the
morning and never bat an
eyelash about all the sleep
that is being lost and all
the studying that is being
neglected. A freshman will
dress up on dress-up day,
wear blue and gold on
school colors day, strut
around in `50s style on
1950s day, and dress like a
colorblind hum on clash
day and not feel a tinge of
self-consciousness. Upper-classmen
fear being
thought foolish if they
were to follow the exam-ple
set by enthusiastic
freshmen. (Instead, they
are thought boring and "no
fun" by freshmen who wish
everyone else would get
into the spirit of things!)
A freshman can walk
into class late and be ex-cused
because he didn't
know where FA 313 was.
Upperclassmen are stared
down by displeased pro-fessors
and curious stu-dents
when they walk in
late. My first freshman ex-perience
of being late to a
class taught me that I
shouldn't wait for a bell to
ring announcing the start
of classes—I later disco-vered
that Bethel didn't
have bells.
I am not complaining
that I am now a senior. I
am not boasting that I am
no longer a freshman. I
can't really see that there
is any greater merit in ei-ther
of the positions. I rec-ognize
that being a fresh-man
was lots of fun. I
know that being a senior
means lots of work. In my
retrospective mood, may-be
I can actually make
being a senior more than
just a lot of responsibility.
After all, I vowed to
myself three years ago that
I would never be a "stuck-up
senior."

The spring of 1980
brought an interesting
challenge to Athletic Di-rector
Dr. George Henry:
to find a new football staff
for Bethel, and the football
team feels that he did an
excellent job.
Dud Lutton was hired
as the head coach, and
along with him came Craig
Dahl, the offensive back
coach, and Dave Ander-son,
the offensive line
coach.
Carl Kassulke, who
played for the Minnesota
Vikings, was brought on
as the defensive back coach
with Brad Pole assisting.

Although the Royal soc-cer
team lost many play-ers
to graduation last year,
Coach Mark Leigh looks
forward to a good season
and expects between forty
and fifty players out for
the team. Coach said, "We
are going to work hard
and I am looking for a
good team this year."
Jon Fredrickson is the
only senior returning this
year so the team will be
relatively young. "We have
a lot of freshmen this
fall and I have heard some
good reports about some
of them," said Leigh.
The players expected to
return this year are Mark
returning coach; he helps
Anderson run the offen-sive
line.
The coaching staff
stresses the mental
strength as well as physi-cal
strength. During twice
daily practice, the coaches
hold a team meeting cover-ing
several aspects of hav-ing
a winning attitude.
According to Head
Coach Lutton, the team's
main goal is to glorify
Christ in all actions. But
Coach Lutton is also set on
giving Bethel one of the
top football teams in the
MIAC.
The Royal's first foot-ball
game is at Bethel Sat-urday,
Sept. 6 at 2:30 p.m.
against Mayville State.

and Steve Figini. Steve is
a transfer student and, said
Leigh, "will help me on
defense. He has played in
Europe and Asia and is a
good ball player with a lot
of experience.
Bo Cedersjo will be the
goalie for the team this
year. He also played last
year but Leigh expects him
to see more action this fall.
Coach Leigh has new
ideas this year and plans
to rearrange players and
place them where they will
be the most help. He "just
wants them to play one
game at a time and do
their best."
was impressed with "the
athletes' concern for their
witness while they corn-peted,
and their interest in
their studies."
Book said about 60 fresh-man
women expressed in-terest
in playing on the
team. Between 15 and 18
upperclassmen are return-ing
as well.
Book expects the varsity
and junior varsity teams
to include 15- 17 women.
Their season begins on Sep-tember
19 and 20 at a
tournament with at least
four other teams.
The returning players ar-rived
on September 2. The
first practice is September

The men's cross-coun-try
coach, Eugene Glader,
is optimistic about his
team this fall. Glader said,
"We have a similar team to
last year but I hope a little
better. We should have
good depth down to the
tenth man."
Although the team lost
graduates Jim Feleen and
Randy Bostrom, Coach Gla-der
expects approximate-ly
fifteen runners out for
the team.
Captain Brent Friesen re-turns
from last year as the
number one and number
two runner. "I hope Brent
will have a good year as a
senior. He put a lot of
summer miles in and is in
good shape," said Glader.
Coach Glader is also
hopeful that senior Bryan
Galloway will be a strong
asset to the team. Gallo-way,
along with sopho-more
Ross Allen, has been
keeping in shape this sum-mer
in preparation for
cross-country. Returning
sophomore Dwight New-man
is also expected to ,
add to the team's depth.
Glader said, "Friesen, Gal-loway,
Allen and Newman
are the best prospects for
returning runners. They
are a year older and also a
year longer running."

Book serves for volleyball
by Patty Sutton
A new, experienced
coach and a large number
of interested students are
a good beginning for this
year's volleyball team.
Cindy Book, who has
the highest certificate of-fered
by the Volleyball
Association for its U.S.
coaches, spent two years
coaching at Keene State in
New Hampshire where
she previously earned her
master s in Education.
She found the position
at Bethel through George
Henry who came here last
year after coaching at
Keene State.
Book said, "When I came
to visit, the school intrigued
me. It was impressive to
see a school so committed
to Christian beliefs."
